Can a movie be both generic and specific? Sollers Point, the latest understated drama from writer-director Matthew Porterfield (Putty Hill,I Used To Be Darker), exists at an unusual intersection, its authenticity working overtime to compensate for its familiarity. The film follows Keith (McCaul Lombardi), a convicted…

As is increasingly the case, we won’t have to wait long between superhero movies—just three weeks after Avengers: Infinity War fires its opening salvo, Deadpool 2 is poised to hit theaters like Colossus (Stefan Kapicic). Or Cable (Josh Brolin). Or Bedlam (Terry Crews), though, if he sticks to his comic-book origins,…

Van is, now as ever, Atlanta’s most and least accessible character. She’s certainly been the most relatable, in that her daily life looks somewhat similar to that of a regular person. (Which goes a long way when Al and Darius are making backwoods drug deals with Migos.) In season one, Van was a working mother…

In most durable couples, there’s a dancer and a spectator, the person anxiously waiting for “Hot In Herre” to play at the wedding reception and the person who’s convinced themselves their body is a load-bearing pillar. In Earn and Van’s complicated situationship, it’s pretty clear which one is which. It’s equally…

As is becoming increasingly common in our modern blockbuster era, superhero comedy Deadpool 2got sent back for reshoots earlier this year. Although the decision to reshoot sometimes gets seen as a last-ditch effort to “save” a film that tested poorly, more often than not, these days, it’s all about specifically…

Early glimpses of Deadpool 2 have been amusing teases, but they haven’t offered up much in the way of the plot for the R-rated sequel, which sees Josh Brolin setting up residence in yet another superhero property. Our latest look at the film attempts to properly introduce Cable, but the merc with the mouth soon…

Deadpool director Tim Miller left the sequel last year over tonal differences—where he wanted to move past the first (and very successful) film’s raunchy humor and turn up the action, star Ryan Reynolds wanted to maintain the bawdiness. It was kind of a shame, since Deadpool was a powerful blend of comedy and…

Not counting that teaser that was shown during Logan screenings (because it was probably made just for that), we haven’t see much actual stuff from Deadpool 2. We don’t really know what Josh Brolin’s Cable will look like, we don’t know if the movie will be as funny as the stars claim it is, and we don’t know what Ryan…

Ryan Reynolds just hopped on Twitter to announce that Atlantastar Zazie Beetz, who plays Vanessa on Donald Glover’s critically beloved FX show, will play luck-twisting mercenary Domino in the upcoming Deadpool 2. Always happy to blur the line between himself and his beloved Merc With The Mouth, Reynolds made the…

You’d drop me off by the Dungeon / Never came in, but I knew that you were wondering / Now are these niggas in this house up to something? / Selling crack sack by sack so they could function? / Well, yes and no / Yes we were selling it / But no it wasn’t blow / Cook it in the basement then move it at a show / Then…

Atlanta has been guilty of self-aware dialogue before, especially from its minor characters. Whether it’s Zan from “The Streisand Effect,” the bartender in “The Club” or the newscaster in “Nobody Beats The Biebs,” there’s always someone nearby willing to puncture Earn or Alfred’s delusions and soberly explain to them…

As indulgent as it is to duplicate one of my earlier headlines, I had to do it because of how much “Value” reminded me of the best episode from season five of Girls. There are several explicit connections between the two shows, including Donald Glover’s brief guest-starring role as Hannah Horvath’s conspicuously black…
